The first sizable population of Nelsonville came in the late 1860's and early 1870's via Bohemian settlers, though the town was founded in the 1850s and named vor D.D. Nelson. Its highest population was 150 around 1900, but declined due to the depression and development of Bellville. The first czech immigrants in Texas were found here, and many are buried in Susen Cemetery where you will find this box.
